Abstract
A spring loaded, self-locking anchoring assembly converts a drive force, administered to an anchor of the anchoring assembly, to one or both of an axial translation force or a compression force. The axial translation force may be used to drive the anchor into tissue, while the compression force may be used to further draw together anchor components and tissue, and/or to lock together anchor components, to improve anchor efficacy in the presence of anatomical variations.
